MSNBC bias?
I noticed something peculiar this morning. As I type, the lead story on www.msnbc.com is about Hillary Clinton, "Clinton Assails GOP-run House", with the quote "Like a plantation".

Right under this, Msnbc put "Live vote: Too far?", instead of something neutral like "Do you agree?".

3. it's always that way when it's a dem or independent. too hard? too far?
too angry? too crazy?

They're all loaded questions, IMO. You NEVER hear the question framed this way when the roles are reversed.

5. All of the major media is blatantly biased, MSNBC is right behind
Faux, IMO. Plus they discriminate against non-Internet Explorer users, since we can't vote in thier polls.

7. firefox
I use firefox too and I couldn't vote. I always just assumed it was firefox. I have some ad-blocking and grease monkey stuff turned on. I wonder if they could be blocking the poll. Maybe the polls are tied in to ad-tracking in some way.

9. Firefox here too. I think it is the ad blocking, or no activeX
or some other potential security threat that Firefox won't allow. :shrug:
